the stuff between
you know that guy that is always spoiling the ending for you? “great flick, i didn’t know until the very last scene that bruce willis was dead!” “schweet movie, who would have guessed brad pitt and ed norton are the same guy?” “dude, you missed the game? knicks won by 8…”
are we doing the same thing by offering to those under our care, heaven as a reward for conversion? are we skipping to the end of the story, and robbing people of the stuff between the intro and the credits? i get the feeling that salvation is not just about where we end up when we graduate from this life to the next. in the words we speak, the messages we preach, the way we live our lives, are we spoiling the ending, or does our redemption bring the kingdom of heaven to our lives today? may i live each day to its fullest, in the actualization of His kingdom here on earth.
